    Does sock_sendmsg() buffer or block?

    We're using sock_sendmsg() to send from an embedded kernel module.
    Throughput is a big concern.

    Does sock_sendmsg() only return AFTER transmitting the data?

    Or, does it copy the data to a buffer, and return immediately (PREFERRED!!) ?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.
